Supreme Warrior in the City

As soon as Su Yang entered the cave, he immediately felt the surroundings suddenly change.

He had entered the cave from the seabed, but upon entering, there wasn’t a drop of seawater around.

This cave seemed like another independent space, it’s very dry inside, not flooded with seawater.

The cave is huge, as if the mountain has been hollowed out.

Unknown light from the cave’s surrounding clearly illuminates every corner.

Deep in the cave, there’s a stone platform. On the platform, there’s a throne. On the throne sits a person of extreme dignity, holding a longsword, watching Su Yang!

Su Yang didn’t expect this situation, hesitated for a moment, then quickly bowed and paid respects: ”Senior, I meant no offense. I came seeking the Xuanyuan Sword left behind by Saint Xuanyuan to protect the Human World, without any other intention. If I offended in any way, I earnestly beg for your forgiveness!”

No one responded, the person continued to stare at Su Yang, his emotions unreadable.

Su Yang spoke a couple more words but received no answer, which surprised him. He looked up to see the person’s expression never changed.

Confused, Su Yang walked forward and examined closely, realizing the person’s eyes held no spirit; he was already dead.

Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a shock in his heart.

This person is filled with powerful saintly aura, could he be the Human Emperor Xuanyuan?

Upon further inspection of the sword in his hand, it looked identical to the legendary Xuanyuan Sword, this is indeed the Xuanyuan Sword!

”It truly is the Human Emperor Xuanyuan!” Su Yang murmured, respectfully kneeling down.

”Saint Xuanyuan, junior Su Yang, arrives to protect the Human World. A great calamity approaches, and the Eight Realms Saints could invade at any time. Su Yang has no other option but to disturb the saint’s spirit, to borrow the saint’s power once more to shield the Human World, hoping the Saint will consent!”

After expressing himself, Su Yang continued to respectfully bow three times, then stood up and slowly approached the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

As he walked, Su Yang silently used the secret technique taught by the masked man, beginning to gather the Power of Saint.

Initially, Su Yang felt immense pressure, but as he employed the secret technique, the pressure gradually lifted, and the Power of Saint began to condense bit by bit.

Su Yang was thrilled, amazed that the masked man’s secret technique was so effective.

Having gathered all the Power of Saint in the vicinity, Su Yang arrived before the Human Emperor Xuanyuan. He respectfully bowed again, and then reached out, taking the Xuanyuan Sword.

At the moment he seized the Xuanyuan Sword, a formidable force started flooding into the sword.

Su Yang was shocked, glancing at the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, whose body began to shrivel.

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan’s body transferred the sustaining power entirely into the Xuanyuan Sword!

”Saint! Do not!” Su Yang cried out: ”Doing this will result in the body’s complete disappearance, and the saint itself will utterly cease to exist, oh Saint, don’t!”

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan did not stop; his physical form shriveled rapidly while the sword’s power grew even stronger.

In the end, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan’s body turned to ash, and the Xuanyuan Sword fell directly into Su Yang’s hand.

Standing in place, Su Yang’s eyes became red with emotion.

This was the body of the Saint, undying and eternal.

Even if a Saint dies in battle, the body remains unscathed, existing forever, revered by all.

Yet now, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan transferred even the power sustaining his flesh wholly into the Xuanyuan Sword. All of this was simply to ensure the Human World’s security.

At this moment, Su Yang’s heart was profoundly moved and deeply shaken.

This saint of the Human Clan sacrificed even his life for the Human World. Ultimately, he offered all the flesh’s power too, and the immortal Saint reduced to mere ashes, how could one not be moved?

Which other Saint among the Eight Realms possesses such spirit?

Gripping the Xuanyuan Sword, Su Yang knelt before the throne, giving three respectful bows once again.

”Saint Xuanyuan, I, Su Yang, swear here. Unless I fall in battle, no one will ever destroy the Human World!” Su Yang vowed with clenched teeth.

No response, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan was entirely turned to ash, this towering figure was utterly gone!

Not long after, a wailing cry came from outside. Soon after, the Ancestor Dragon rushed inside.

Seeing the throne’s ash, the Ancestor Dragon wailed in agony, kneeling on the ground.

Gripping the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, Su Yang gradually stood, speaking solemnly: ”Now that I hold this sword, I must protect the Human World. Senior, I am leaving!”

With sword in hand, Su Yang flew out of the North Sea, heading straight for Qinghe Academy.

At Qinghe Academy, Su Yang sat meditating in the basement, using the secret technique taught by the masked man, starting to absorb the Power of Saint throughout the Human World.

After nine days and nights, Su Yang completed collecting all of the Power of Saint.

And at this moment, disturbances finally arose in the basement!

Standing with the sword, Su Yang knew the Eight Realms Saints were finally here.

Yet, who would be the first to arrive?

The basement’s fluctuations lasted an entire day, and finally, the Asura Clan’s stone coffin opened.

A strong oppressive force quickly emerged, followed by a man dressed entirely in black slowly stepping out of the coffin.

Every step he took brought a black mist beneath his feet. Step by step, half of the basement was shrouded in the mist, which seemed to house countless beings ready to drag one in and devour them.

Seeing Su Yang meditating in the basement, the man glanced at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, slightly puzzled but ultimately dismissive.

”I am Tu Yuan, Saint of the Asura Clan.” The man arrogantly demanded, ”Hand over the Divine Artifact, and I shall retreat!”

Su Yang replied calmly, ”The Divine Artifact was obtained by the Human World; why should it be handed over?”

”The Human World acquired it; can the Human World defend it?” Tu Yuan countered coldly: ”Leaving something undefendable only brings calamity upon you all. Are you planning to bring disaster to the Human World instead?”

”So because we cannot protect it, we must hand it to you?” Su Yang scoffed: ”So this is what robbery looks like from a saint’s perspective!”

Tu Yuan sneered, ”No need for idle talk; just answer—give or not!”

”Though the Human World may be weak, it will not stand for humiliation!” Su Yang declared proudly: ”If you want the Divine Artifact, fine, step over my corpse!”

”Heh…” Tu Yuan sneered: ”Su Yang, do you truly think wielding the Human Emperor Xuanyuan’s Xuanyuan Sword allows you to stop me? Do you not understand, to a Saint, all below are mere ants? Even Ye the Sword Saint here could be erased with a finger. How will you stop me?”
